<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rotary machine drive system which can determine whether the connection state of winding in a rotary machine is switched, and a washing machine comprising the system and a winding switching result confirmation method for the rotary machine. <P>SOLUTION: In the rotary machine drive system, when the connection state of the stator winding 18 of a motor 15 is changed by relays 62 to 64 to switch the induced voltage constant of the winding 18, a control microcomputer 36 confirms that the connection state of the winding 18 is changed. Practically, when the motor 15 stops, changes in the resistance value of the winding 18 before and after starting the relay are compared, and when the motor 15 rotates, changes in the induced voltage Ed estimated by a magnetic pole position estimator 39 before and after starting the relays 62 to 64 are compared. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
